However Pilates at Verve, taught in private rooms with patient and knowledgeable instructors, is tailored to a variety of fitness and experience levels and is a great choice for addressing overall conditioning and rehab, in addition to your specific fitness goals.
The Pilates Method of Body Conditioning is an exercise method that engages both body and mind to improve balance, strength, flexibility and physical awareness. Initially founded in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates, a performer and boxer, as a means to help rheumatic patients, today over 500 specific Pilates exercises are performed on the mat and various apparatus to help participants build stronger, more flexible muscles.
